Doesn’t it feel like the world is losing its humanity? What if we put away labels like race, religion, nationality, class and realise at our core we’re all the same - just human beings. Nomute’s children’s home is an example of the best of humanity. With little resources she looks after 36 children in this small home made of pieces of discarded metal. Seeing her interactions with the children makes you realise that no matter how much the world seems to be losing its values, there will always be beacons of light. Lots of small steps towards kindness will put that bit of humanity back into our shared world, slowly but surely. Here are my three recommended steps: Step 1 visit each other Step 2 understand each others situations Step 3 see how we can help to improve one or both our lives#equaled #equality #humanitymatters

the biggest form of control people in power have over us is INDIFFERENCE. 🤐not taking action because " it's not happening to me or to a person I love " is the reason why we still live in such broken societies.😣and it's a LIE.it doesn't matter if you're queer or Black.👉 eventually, the lack of regards for human rights will affect you too.I used to live in my quiet bubble too, dimming my light to " live in peace " and not experience further discrimination.and I was DYING inside. 🥺🔥 it's only when I aligned my actions with my values, that I've started to live my life fully.🌈 it's only when I started to educate myself on anti- racism, that I found myself part of something greater.🌱it's only when I accepted my responsibilities in my community, that I felt like I belonged. this is how I see workplaces too, because you can't escape it, companies are small- sized societies. 🌎 👉 NO society can afford silence.remember...this month's pride theme is ALLYSHIP.💪my question for you is :🔥 when the f*ck are you going to do something about supporting your community? are you waiting for us to be sent to concentration camps? 🤷♂️oh wait. that's already happening.😔🙅♂️Black people are being incarcerated and enslaved under the disguise of " prison system " .🙅Queer people are being sent to camps under the disguise of " refugee support " .🙅♂️women are denied abortions under the disguise of " good Christian principles " 🙅Native Americans , Asian and Black people are being killed everyday with 0 consequences under the disguise of white " mental illness" " I don't know what to do Lu " 😣it's simple : support our work.support your community.👉SPEAK UP.💪ACTION UP. your silence is endangering ALL of us.

Today, we stand united in the fight against racial discrimination. Let's celebrate our diverse cultures, embrace inclusivity, and work together to create a world free from prejudice.This year’s theme, “A Decade of Recognition, Justice, and Development: Implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent”, recognizes that people of African descent represent a distinct group whose human rights must be promoted and protected. Ongoing racial prejudice and the enduring impacts of slavery and colonial rule continue to influence people around the world, making it imperative for us to collaborate in advancing acknowledgment, equality, and progress for individuals of African heritage globally.#EliminateRacialDiscrimination #DiversityandInclusion #FightRacism #Equality #AntiRacism

Juneteenth marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, and it should motivate us to dismantle oppressive structures, amplify marginalized voices, and foster empathy and understanding. Let's use this moment to ignite change, challenge injustice, and create a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Don't just talk about it, BE ABOUT IT! Together, we can make a lasting impact and uphold the principles of freedom, equality, and inclusivity. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay #Equality #Justice #Inclusion #Change #StandUpForWhatsRight
